Sanders can also call upon a network of surrogates and endorsers with track records of drawing big crowds among progressives, most notably three members of"the Squad" — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — who are now freed from their own impeachment duties in the House.

Both have recently begun airing television ads and may depend on them to keep a presence in early states during the trial.

"I do think that the American people are more interested in a positive vision that we can all get excited about rather than impeachment proceedings, particularly as approximately zero Republicans have signaled any interest in even contemplating successful impeachment of the president," Yang told reporters.
